JASPER. Mo., Dec. 20—(UP)—
The mysterious disappearance of
livestock and poultry has baffled
farmers around Jasper for some
time.
Finally, farmers who had lost
chickens, ducks, and even small
pigs and calves decided to do some-
thing about it. They organised
ground searci/ to track down who-
ever was stealing their property.

man's farm, but they seemed more

The report of the Good Offices
committee also calls on the U. N. Se-

The Council did meet in Paris this
morning, but the emergency session
was postponed almost immediately

BATAVIA. Java, Dec. 20.0—(UP.)
—A United Nations committee in
Indonesia has accused the Dutch of
failing to live up to theirr treaty ob-
ligations in the South Pacific.
In leveling this charge, the U. N
Guod-Offices Committee has re-
ported to U. N. headquarters on de-
velopments leading up to the Dutch
attack on Java and Sumatra yes-
terday. The report to the U. S.
is signed by both an American and
an Australian representative of the
Good Offices group. The accusa-
tion is that the Dutch have repudi-
ated the 11-months truce with the
Indonesian republic.
As the report puts it, the Dutch
did file a notice to the secretary last
Sfturday night that they were
about to attack.
They did the same to the recre.
tary-genertl of the Republican del-
egation. Both actions were in ac-
cord with the truce agreement—the
warnings were made before the of-
fensive began.
But the committee charges that
the Dutch then suspended the tele-
graph wires and that neither the U.
N. delegates nor the Indonesian

large amount of money.
Carl L. Lala of Houston and his
wife told police today they were
on their way home early this morn-
ing when their car began missing.
Lala says he got out to look at the
motor when the medium-sized Ne-
gro appeared.
He forced Mrs. Lala to drive La-
la and him to a spot near Rich-
mond, where the Lalas were left
stranded.
Lala says the man took $375
from his pocketbook and that the
Negro then drove off with Sunday
receipts from three Houston drive-
ins. The car has been found
abandoned in Richmond, but four
metal cash boxes are gone.
Lala declines to comment on the
amount of his loss. However, po-
lice believe it will be several thou-
